Great car but the tranny is a ticking time bomb
I’ve had my car since 2017, but my driver experience isn’t a typical one to rely since I used my Chevy for Uber. I’ve put over 230,000 miles on it, so needless to say, I would naturally run into more issues than the typical driver of this car. A lot of the pro’s and con’s are outlined pretty well by other reviews, but the biggest con I want to emphasize is the transmission. For some reason, Chevy models of different years are notorious for having issues with the transmission. It’ll start off with the car hitting high RPMs with the gear shifts being sluggish and abrupt. When this occurs, you have a single window to get the tranny fixed for less than $1k before it gets worse. Once it gets worse, the whole tranny would then need to be replaced which costed me around $3500. This happened twice, and only on the second occurrence did I have the experience to know to get it looked at immediately.
